The contribution of university research to economic growth

The UK’s rich and diverse ecosystem of world-leading research and innovation is a key driver of growth and productivity. At the heart of this, and underpinning the Industrial Strategy, sits a world class research base.

University Alliance, NCUB and Innovate UK share a commitment to ensuring that the research base continues to contribute to economic growth by driving profits, attracting inward investment and creating jobs across the country. This booklet shows how these efforts are succeeding, and how future policy could add even more value to the research and innovation system.
